I stayed in Swan on two occasions - in January 2018 and May 2019. I totally love the place and their drive to spread the message and teachings of Yoga. I am sure each time I visit Goa, Swan will be a must visit & stay for me. It's set on the edge of the forest and is in complete harmony with nature, inspite of being very centrally located. All the popular beaches of North Goa are within 15-30 minutes scooter rides away. Inside Swan, it is absolutely calm and silent most of the day. The classes and various sessions are conducted professionally and on schedule. The wholesome vegetarian food served at Swan is tasty and nutritious and as good as home cooked food. On both my visits, I stayed in the cottages (two single beds) with attached bath. These bamboo and wood cottages are simple but very functional. The common areas and yogashalas are my favorite spots at Swan, and one can lounge around them the whole day, meet other guests and enjoy the nature around. When no one is around, one hears only the rustle bustle of trees and dried leaves and the chirping of insects and birds. On Saturday's and Sunday's ji they host a Homum prayer ceremony in the evenings and is open for all. Apart from the wonderful and open minded people who run the place the draw of the place is its simple, yet harmonius design that respects the nature it's part. Exactly how a Yoga retreat should be. It's not a five star retreat if that's what you are looking for. But the experience is five star.
